{"product_id":"united-states-1878-seated-liberty-quarter-cc-mint-au55","title":"United States 1878 Seated Liberty Quarter CC Mint AU55","description":"The 1878-CC Seated Liberty Quarter in AU55 condition is a highly coveted and rare coin in American numismatics. Struck at the Carson City Mint, this particular quarter stands out not only due to its rarity but also because it represents a pivotal moment in U.S. coinage history. The Seated Liberty design, created by Christian Gobrecht, was first introduced in 1838, and the 1878 issue marks the tail end of the series. The Carson City Mint, known for producing a relatively low number of coins, adds to the desirability of this piece, as Carson City issues are typically more sought after by collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe obverse of the coin features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield in one hand and a laurel branch in the other. The word \"LIBERTY\" is inscribed above her head, and the date \"1878\" is below. The reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, with the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “QUARTER DOLLAR” surrounding it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn AU55 (About Uncirculated) condition, this coin shows only minor wear on the high points, preserving much of its original detail and luster. The design elements are still sharply defined, with Liberty’s image and the eagle's feathers remaining well preserved. There may be some slight signs of wear from circulation, but overall, the coin retains much of its original brilliance and eye appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a mintage of just 748,000 coins, the 1878-CC Seated Liberty Quarter is already a rare find, and one in AU55 condition is an even rarer treasure. This coin is a must-have for serious collectors, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of American history.","brand":"ANDRE ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448648822984,"sku":"080-00389","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/9902\/7912\/files\/ab97165931e936a167009dad29405d73.jpg?v=1746291959","url":"https:\/\/oceancityjewelers.com\/products\/united-states-1878-seated-liberty-quarter-cc-mint-au55","provider":"Ocean City Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
